Red.
Such a beautiful colour, dangerous yet serene.
Think of all things red. That beautiful dress, those fierce hair, that killer lipstick, blood...
When I think red, somehow, my brain connects me to a beautiful scene.
Tragic, yes. But beautiful nonetheless.
She stands in all her glory. The picture of innocence. Some would call her ignorant, naïve, maybe rightly so.
But what they don't realise, or rather, what they do not want to realise, is that she has always known everything.
Maybe because she was raised in an environment where not knowing had brutal consequences, or maybe her curious nature makes her repellent to ignorance.
Whatever it is, she stands there. Innocent despite all that knowledge.
Innocent despite all the criticising glares.
Innocent despite those red flames.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
The Crimson To My Snow
All he ever wanted. All he ever fought for. Becomes the scythe to his bleeding core... The curse hiding under the tenderness of a touch. The softness of a voice... of a loving gaze. Yet an easing warmth to his freezing heart. It is ruining him. He knows it. It burns his insides, he feels it slowly killing him. Oh... Ever so sweetly. Intoxicating. She is. Like a moth to a flame. He knew it's danger, yet he still dove deeper into what's to be his grave. Or hers? Who can tell when all that is visible is the forgotten hot blood splatter on innocent snow? Maybe that blood didn't know how incriminating he looked, And maybe snow isn't so innocent after all. We'd wonder and question the whys and hows, but the only truth they both shared? Terrified. In their skin. Because they yearned for it still. Afraid to answer a mind. Scared to face a logic. So helplessly one would ask, How can a heart still long for its destroyer? How can cold snow yearn for the burning heat of crimson?

Vellichor
In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.Complete![Reina [HS]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/290587056-256-k154654.jpg)

Losing someone is never easy. Especially if it's your best friend. Being in love with that someone though, makes it even more complicated. * Harry and Elizabeth grew up together. They were best friends, each other's happy place. But 7 years is a long time, a lot has changed... Harry is now living his dream, basking in the glory of his success. No matter how big he gets though, he could never forget where he came from. He could never forget those big blue eyes and the hearty laugh that he was once so fond of. And Elizabeth... well, she grew up. She's not the naive little girl she was all those years ago anymore, she sees the world differently now. She does her best every day, trying to get into line and have a normal life like most of us. Running away from your past and building up walls can only work for so long though, and a certain curly headed rockstar might just be able to crumble them all down in an instant. When their paths cross again, the darkness just becomes a tad bit brighter. They eventually fall back to same old habits, the memories clearer than ever and suddenly it all just makes perfect sense again. *** "Love is friendship that has caught fire." //MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT//Complete
Red Rover | gxg | Wattys 2023 Winner | ✔
[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

Singed - My demon
A happy childhood, a so-so adolescence. Then adulthood arrived, and everything went to hell. And by everything, I mean it. Grown-up life is truly a wonderful, dazzling adventure! A job that drains your soul, stripping away any will to live while fueling a more or less justified homicidal instinct; depression knocking at the door with a lovely bouquet of red roses and, last but not least, the remnants of a social life buried somewhere under my shoes. Not the ones I'm wearing now; those are slippers, big difference. I mean the pretty ones in the cabinet that I haven't touched in five years. Love can be destructive. It catches you, ensnares you, devours you, and if you're unlucky enough, it leaves you standing in nothing but your underwear before reducing you to ashes. I had made peace with my "and she lived single, forever unhappy but safe" fate. A house, one, four, eight, maybe twenty cats and a future as flat as a heart monitor that's given up the ghost. No joys, minimal suffering, because there's only so much a heart can take before it calls it quits. And honestly? Fuck it, I'd been through enough. ... But he changed everything. In the worst, most terrifying way possible. From this abyss, I may never climb back out.
Love Me Forever
**Book 2 of the "Love Me" series. Can be read as a stand-alone book.** Do you believe in love? I certainly did not. To be honest, I never cared much for it. To me, love was nothing but the brain releasing the chemical phenylethylamine to produce the effect of what people call "falling in love." That's what love meant to me. Never in a million years did I ever expect my plans to shatter instantly into a million pieces when Erin introduced me to her best friend, Julie, the most beautiful and luscious red-haired woman I'd ever seen. In an instant, I knew my life would never be the same. I knew then, that it didn't matter who she was or what her past beheld, she will become my future. ____________________________________ From the moment Grace locked eyes on Julie she was in love. She had fallen hard and fast. Grace thought she found the perfect person for her and there was never a doubt in her mind that she couldn't have Julie, for no one can resist her charm, whether it be a man or woman. However, not everything in life comes easily as Grace might hope. Not when the woman you love, is in love with your older sister. Though her feelings were not returned, she continued to stay by Julie's side, hoping that one day Julie would look her way. But seven years later and Grace remains nothing more than a friend. What happens when Grace begins to reach her breaking point and decides to move on with her life? Without realizing that the one person she wanted the most has finally begun to fall in love with her. ****This story contains MATURE content and GIRL ON GIRL action.**** Important: Thanks to all my readers and supporters - Love Me Forever has been officially published as an eBook on Amazon! Starting 7/13/20, only chapters 1-10 will be available to readers on Wattpad.Complete
